Low voltage AC drives

ABB general purpose drive

0.55 kW to 500 kW, ACS580
Motor control method – scalar or vector control (open or closed loop)
380 - 480 V, 3-phase supply, 0.55 kW to 500 kW

What is an ABB general purpose drive?
The ACS580 is stocked and delivered by ABB’s authorised value provider network, and handles a
very wide range of applications. It is a highly useable drive incorporating ABB’s most intuitive keypad
functionality. The “primary settings” guide the user much like a smart phone. The drive retains the
swinging choke harmonic suppression technology, which has been updated to permanent magnet
technology. The drive includes built-in machinery safety functionality with safe torque-off (STO) to SIL 3 4
PL e as standard, and has more frames to optimise the commercial and power offering.

Highlights
– Improved internal options including external 24 V support
– Integral EMC filter for 1st and 2nd environment as standard
– Assistant control panel with improved primary settings
menu and backups-smartphone useability
– Wide power range in wall-mounted IP21 and IP55 variants
– Extended power range with ACS580-04 and ACS580-07 to 500 kW
– Patented permanent magnet swinging choke for superior
harmonic reduction, even at reduced motor loads
– Safe torque-off (STO) as standard, SIL 3 Pl e
– Flexible fieldbus system with built-in Modbus and
numerous internally mountable fieldbus adapters
– SynRM, permanent magnet (PM) and induction motor
(IM) control with improved motor platform For more details, please refer to Technical Catalogue 3AUA0000145061

Where can it be used?
The ABB general purpose drive is ideal in those situations where there is a need for simplicity to install,
commission and use and where reasonable amounts of flexibility and functionality are required. The
addition of STO, 24 V support and improved fieldbus support and wider powers, extends the applications.

Feature Advantage Benefit
Intuitive modern keypad High contrast, high definition display giving intuitive access to the drive parameters. Easy commissioning, programming, maintenance and fault finding, making
Built-in “Help” button, giving programming hints. Real-time clock, allows timed the drive easy to own and use across all activities. Allows drive cloning for
tracing of faults and setting of parameters to activate functions at various times of easy set up of multiple drives
day. Changed parameters menu also included, so you can see your edits
Primary settings menu Assisted set-up for all of the drives common settings. Intuitive and context Even easier to configure the drive to the application. Next level of
sensitive makes navigation easier for the user, like a smartphone VSD usability
Text editing capabilities Rename drive variables or warning messages Tailor the drive to “speak” in the language of the application
Adaptive programming Drive contains a freely programmable environment allowing changes and adaptions The drive can easily be flexed to meet the needs of the application, without
to the drive parameters. Easy to use and flexible external devices, existing controls, timers, relays etc
Improved backups Keypad can store backups with a time stamp, or automatic backups can be taken. Easy to manage installed base and speeds up commissioning.
Backups can be viewed before download, or partial downloads can be performed Auto backup means you never forget
Integrated safety. STO as TÜV approved STO is on board the drive. Makes it easy to generate safety systems Minimise installation time and space. Shorter design times using TÜV
standard SIL3 PL e without the need for external contactors approved interface
Energy monitoring and Drive controls the motor voltage dependant on the load. Consumed energy optimised across the speed and load range.
